GOP Candidate Cancels Fundraiser With Steve King
Eric Kleefeld | June 15, 2010, 3:40PM


Rep. Steve King's (R-IA) comments that President Obama "favors the black person" by default in an argument may have cost him an appearance at a Colorado fundraiser.

King was previously going to speak at an event for Colorado state Rep. Cory Gardner, who is running against freshman Democratic Rep. Betsy Markey. But as the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports:

He was scheduled to speak at a $100 a person fundraiser for Gardner on Saturday in Hudson, but the event has been scrapped, Gardner campaign manager Chris Hansen said.

Hansen wouldn't elaborate on the reasons, but he informed the Coloradoan of the cancellation after the paper inquired about King's remarks. The campaign had sent an e-mail to supporters Friday promoting the fundraiser.
